"Grandpa is busy, I don't dare say anything." Ye Zao pouted.
"Are you alright?" Fourth Master was still rubbing her wrist and smiling: "Take a break, I'll get the kitchen to bring some snacks for you."
"Ah, thank you, Fourth Master." Ye Zao leaned into Fourth Master's arms.
Fourth Master called someone in and ordered two plates of dim sum from the kitchen, along with a pot of hot cow's milk.
The dessert arrived, and Ye Zao didn't eat much of it, but he drank half a jug of milk.
Fourth Master sniffed and smiled: "Like a little baby."
As he spoke, he kissed her lips lightly and said, "Go back if you're tired."
"Fourth Master isn't going to grind anymore?" Ye Zao looked at Fourth Master, this was unprecedented.
"Just call them over, go back, I'm busy today and can't bother to see you, come back in a few days," said Fourth Master.
"Hmm, he's gone back, so I'll take a break too." Ye Zao said.
Fourth Master nodded and watched her leave.
Ye Zao left, and Fourth Master's expression turned serious, with a lot of things to attend to.
Ye Zao walked back and forth while thinking about Ye's family matters in his heart.
"It's really bad luck, I'm afraid. Now that my stepmother has given birth to her own children, we've become outsiders." Leafy thought with growing discontent.
"Miss..." Ayuan was also here yesterday, and Uncle Lao sent a letter that she had read too.
It's the girl's trust.
"It's nothing, I'm just like my mother. I didn't have any expectations to begin with. As a girl, it doesn't matter to me, but brother is heartbroken." Overnight, they've become real fathers, how can they not be heartbroken?
"Alas, it's tough for you too, old man." Ah Yuan sighed.
"Let him go his own way, actually the resources are very good, Uncle dotes on him and is willing to support him, he just needs to study hard, take the imperial examination and get a good title, then he won't have to worry about becoming an official." said Ye Zao.
"Uncle is really the best uncle ever." A Yuan envied: "Hey, back then, something happened at my family's place and Uncle closed the door on us..."
"Alas, this is also fate. Look at my aunt, she's leaving without even thinking of sending me a message..."
Ye Zao didn't care about how much attention the Ye family gave her, she just felt sorry for the original owner.
At first, Ye Zao was also Ye Mingyuan's darling, but after having a legitimate child, she immediately became a discarded concubine?
How disgusting!
"Girl, don't think about it anymore, it's also annoying." Ah Yuan stomped her foot.
"Never mind, which family doesn't have a few extreme relatives?" Ye Zao shook his head: "Let's go, take a break."
Three days later, Ye Feng got married and officially became husband and wife with Jueluo.
Fourth Master would certainly not care about this.
He was in the palace, feeling depressed.
The emperor suddenly wanted to test his sons' archery skills. The group was in the martial arts arena of the palace at that time.
In the imperial family, it's natural that the eldest son of the emperor doesn't need to compete with others.
Third Master, Fourth Master, Fifth Master, Seventh Master, Eighth Master, Ninth Master, Tenth Master all want to compete, and there are also several princes in the clan.
Nowadays, Ba Ye is still a 14-year-old kid, although he's not that young anymore and can get married, but he's still very immature.
The rest of his brothers were the same.
Everyone is uncertain, several younger brothers, Twelfth Brother, Thirteenth Brother, and Fourteenth Brother are staring eagerly.
The Kangxi Emperor gave an order, and everyone was about to start competing.
I don't know if it's because of the awkward atmosphere or really poor performance, anyway, none of the seven brothers performed well...
Kangxi's face fell immediately.
"We Manchu people, we got the world on horseback, how can our riding and shooting skills be inferior? Look at you one by one, ah? You've all been spoiled by the Han people! It's really so unambitious!" Kangxi stood up, patting the dragon throne: "Which Han people taught them their skills?"
Yan Ming Chun hurriedly brought up several names.
"Drag him over and give me a beating!" Emperor Kangxi ordered.
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
Although the Manchu people are valiant, they have been in the Central Plains for decades, how can they still not understand the importance of respecting teachers and honoring the Tao?
Actually, what Emperor Kangxi said today is not quite right, it's corrupting the Han people...
Now we have to fight against Chinese masters again.
This is really an injustice.
They didn't learn archery and martial arts from the Han people!
Third Master is most fond of Chinese studies and reads and learns with diligence, which will bring him to the forefront. He was held back by Fourth Master and Fifth Master, one on each side.
No one dared to speak out, but their eyes clearly said: if you stick your head out, that's asking for death!
Soon, the teacher of the four Han people was dragged over.
He didn't say another word and ordered the guards to give him a good kicking.
The martial arts arena was all yellow sand, and there was another rain last night. At this moment, it was quite muddy, and several teachers were knocked down on the edge of the field, rolling in mud.
Several teachers did not dare to beg for mercy and were even unaware of what had happened when they were beaten up like this.
Fourth Master's hand was tightly clenched, in front of his brothers and several younger brothers, he beat the teacher like this, where will the teachers' dignity be from now on?
Will it be possible to learn well like this?
The Emperor is getting more and more tyrannical...
But who dares to advise?
He beat them for a good while before ordering his guards to stop, by which time several of the teachers were unable to get up.
Still have to crawl over to thank you.
"How can you be a teacher, misleading my brother! What face do you have to be the teacher of the imperial prince? Come and take these good-for-nothings away!" Emperor Kangxi said.
The crowd was stunned again, and the guards had already made their move.
Four teachers cried out in vain, being dragged away. As they left, Emperor Kangxi said: "Come on time tomorrow to teach the princes, if you are lazy, you will be severely punished."
Having said that, he got up and returned to the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
The king of Zheng and the crown prince hurriedly followed.
Everyone thinks it's too scary.
Even the young masters who didn't understand things were afraid of several teachers, and they were beaten like this. Tomorrow, they still have to attend classes? The key is that their homes were all searched!
After leaving the palace, San Ye and Si Ye rushed to the Ministry of Justice. This matter must be thoroughly investigated to determine what happened, it's too frightening.
The Ministry of Punishment has taken action, and the homes of all four teachers will be confiscated. Family members will be sold into slavery, leaving only those over 50 years old and children under three years old.
The house will be left intact, but all the belongings inside will be confiscated...
This is an absurd imperial edict issued by Emperor Kangxi.
Fourth Master almost trembled with rage, not from fear, but from anger.
Killing someone is just a matter of nodding one's head; who would have thought it was so easy?
Is this to make an enemy of all Han people under heaven and all scholars?
Fourth Master returned to the mansion and urgently found Rong Baile: "No nonsense, you take the silver from me, think of a way to buy those teachers' family members, and settle them down. Don't let the Feng family get involved in this matter."
In case there's a sequel, it would harm the Feng family and also be unfair to Xiao Hu Li.
Rong Bailu responded with a sound, he was also nervous. This matter seemed like a small thing, but who knew what the next move would be?
The silver has gone in the flurry of activity.
Fourth Master sat in the study, for a long time no one spoke, what's going on?
Four teachers who were beaten up had one seriously injured, as soon as he returned home, the Ministry of Punishment came to search his house and took away his family members, spitting out a mouthful of blood and dying on the spot.
